And then
there are the horses that are not loveable, or even likeable, that have wreaked
havoc on each of their owners, bucking, biting, barn sour, kickers, that have
never had a long term home because no one wants to keep them after they are
injured, or maybe the owners are in fear that their family may be injured by
the horse. Who wants to lovingly care for (at a great expense) them into their
twilight years, and then have them expensively euthanized
and then pay the renderer to come pick them up ($250 where
I live)?
Sometimes
these horses are unwittingly bought at auction, sometimes thru want ads. Some
of them are even drugged so their behavior is masked for a week or two. What do
you want to do with these horses?

Raven, I am talking about all of
those horses out there that don't have owners that can afford to keep them in
comfort until they die a natural death or are put down due to old age.
Unfortunately, there are probably more animals living in substandard conditions
than are in good/excellent conditions as ours are. There needs to be a way to
put the unwanted/neglected animal down. There are not enough people out there
to care for all of the neglect cases that have not gone to rescues. Also, there
should be better options out there for the loving/caring horse owner than there
are. As my girlfriend told me, she wanted more
options, wanted to be able to call the mobile butcher but couldn't. Beccy
